BÜCHL Foundation gGmbH

The BÜCHL Foundation gGmbH is a non-profit company founded in 2017, belonging to the family-run BÜCHL Group (since 1951) and based in Ingolstadt. Each year, it allocates a portion of the company’s profits as well as incoming donations to support social, educational, and research-related projects, as well as initiatives promoting the environment and culture. The Foundation places particular emphasis on transparency and ensuring that aid reaches those directly affected. Its work ranges from regional immediate relief efforts (e.g., Ukraine relief campaign, support for the Ingolstadt food bank) to long-term funding in the fields of science, youth and elderly care, education, environmental protection, and the arts.

The mission of the BÜCHL Foundation gGmbH is to make the world a little bit better. The foundation specifically supports projects and organizations both regionally and abroad that bring about sustainable improvements in quality of life. It ensures that every funded initiative is carefully selected, managed transparently, and evaluated for its effectiveness—always in accordance with the core values of empathy, mindfulness, and responsibility.

The BÜCHL Foundation gGmbH targets social and volunteer initiatives that provide direct assistance to those in need (e.g., local food banks, UNICEF working groups, Lions Club), educational institutions, research projects, and youth welfare programs, as well as organizations involved in environmental and climate protection, cultural and arts promotion, and sports clubs. Furthermore, it supports aid projects abroad, particularly in crisis and poverty regions. The funding programs are aimed at individuals as well as associations, non-profit limited liability companies, and other non-profit organizations that demonstrably contribute to improving living conditions.
